That’s what happens when the design department uses its best ideas on the original version of a car and has to scramble for BandAids when the marketing department wants a refresh 3 years later. Look back through history - the original styling of a model is almost always the best, and the refreshed versions look like new parts have just been tacked on.
The black plastic surrounds on the ‘19 Camaro tailights look like they’re filling the same holes as the taillights on the ‘16-‘18 models, even though the tops of the bumpers on the ‘19s have been dimpled. I wonder if the taillights are interchangeable? |

The tail lights look bulky and make the rear look fat. Might look better in person.

Chevy will need to now offer some really exciting colors and and graphic packages to help enhance the styling flaws of the rear and grill.

Beautiful car behind the poor color choice and hideous drop top. Front is definitely growing on me, love the tail lights. Would like to see a white exterior with satin black wheels and black blade spoiler.

Like the old story. When I was drunk at the bar and picked her up she was pretty. The next morning when I was sober and it time to leave she was lying on my arm. It was wake her up or chew off my arm. Was glad to chew off my arm and leave. Sorry, this SS is ugly and I have owned Chevys since my first vehicle, a 65 El Camino when I was 15 years old in 1970. BTW- JMO and this story is fiction! SS refresh is real unfortunately.

If the Camaro team is a fan of Minions, I think that explains a lot tbh...

Anyone else tired of the bashing from the 2017-2018 owners? I get it entirely, its the same every new release, the previous year owners are giving every attempt and going out of there way in every sense just to make themselves feel better. Its old, deal with it fellas. Facts.

They just want all their cars to adhere to the same corporate face, no matter what the cost. That face happens to work well for trucks but not cars. We'll be waiting at least a few years before we see anything different, probably, granted the new design is still trickling to their product line, like the new Blazer (which it looks fine on.)
Speaking of the Blazer, the fact that it's basically a Camaro SUV means that the "Camaro" nameplate is very likely safe and reserved for future sports cars. That means even in a worst case scenario, if the Camaro dies due to poor sales, it can come back as a true Camaro. Unlike the Mitsubishi Eclipse which came back as a crossover...
